We can agree to disagree. LA & Tampa scare me. One game vs Jets is meh. It’s the NFL, NE posted 45 on the Chargers. LA’s defense front 7 is about as good as there is in the league and they have a damn good CB. We saw Tampa’s speed on defense. It’s one and done in Januaryso all the better if we completely avoid that first round.
oak presented two different scenarios. in one, the packers have to win three playoff games to get to the superbowl, and one of those three games is against the rams - the team you fear the most. in the second scenario, the packers only have to win only two games to get to the super bowl, and the rams are not a likely opponent.
honestly, i'm not as afraid of the rams as you are. they just lost to the previously winless jets with sam darnold as their qb. i will not be surprised if they lose in the first round of the playoffs.
i have seen you say multiple times that you believe there are no dominant teams - except maybe the chiefs, and the next 25 teams are pretty much equal. the good news is that we don't have to face the chiefs in the playoff games leading up to the superbowl. so that means we are playing against teams that are pretty much equal to ours during the playoffs. and if that is the case, then simple probability theory says that we have a much better chance of reaching the superbowl if we only have to win two games as opposed to three. and really, just logic should tell you that one less chance to lose players to injury is a big enough factor alone.
